It is against Oregon law for state and local law enforcement or public agencies (state and local government offices) in the state of Oregon to participate directly or indirectly in immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

The Reddit conversation https://www.reddit.com/r/Portland/comments/1ibto9s/pps_and_ice_raids/

 

CEO Marek Tyminski was present during the investor call, and later chimed in on Xitter to echo Hill's points and spread the word to CI Games's audience of (in Hill's phrase) "core and adjacent" players. In that tweet, he gives a clunky #shoutout to 2023's Lords Of The Fallen - a huge success for CI that has been savaged for its extensive launch bugs, and which is now being positioned for a "2.0" redemption. In confirmation that "anti-DEI" is now a CI Games PR campaign, Tyminski is also now openly toying with updating Lord Of The Fallen's character model labelling to suit transphobic, "anti-woke" ideas about gender.

These hawkish daydreams lend themselves easily, even inadvertently to active prejudice. Back in 2021, CI were obliged to apologise after throwing a preview event in which journalists were invited to shoot at people dressed as Arab stereotypes. In their apology, CI Games claim they weren't "directly" involved in the event and that as such, "certain decisions were overlooked". A DEI consultant might have helped them spot all that in advance.

The argument that games with "social or political agendas" are a risk commercially, meanwhile, echoes the reactionary claim that there isn't really an audience for games that express leftwing positions of any kind. I'm interested to see Hill put some actual figures behind that, because the comments thread battlecry "go woke, go broke" doesn't stand up to casual analysis.

Just look at Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 - "the biggest Call Of Duty ever", according to its creators, despite being the first Call Of Duty to feature a non-binary character, whose voice actor has had to deal with transphobic harassment. God Of War: Ragnarök, meanwhile, is a flawed deconstruction of patriarchy that features input from the narrative consultancy Sweet Baby Inc - a popular boogeyman for the DEI Detectors - and has still managed to sell tens of millions of copies. Fortnite hosts an annual pride event, amongst other "woke" initiatives, and remains one of the most-played games in history.

 

I was looking at exploring a new career and this looks like a fun opportunity to dip my toe into accounting.

Anyone familiar with it? Thank you.

You lumped a huge percentage of people as putting their fingers in their ears.

Maga is going to vote maga. And there's a huge chunk that didn't vote or were surprised Biden dropped out. Those folks didn't put their fingers in their ears. Like Bernie said, they were ignored.

That's my take.

Bro I was alive during Rodney King riots.

Doesn't mean my opinion is more valid than someone actually there.

Ah yes, now that you made fun of the prior commenter, we have convinced the world and now Kamala is president?

Bernie is fucking right.

Probably because he's offering them a solution to there problems, deport the immigrants and bring manufacturing back. His plan is dumb and won't work but at least he's putting something forward unlike Harris who says everything will stay the same.

This is exactly what I was pointing out to my friends. Every one of us are making six figures, and could not understand why anybody would vote Trump.

And I asked them how many people in their lives are poor, living paycheck to paycheck. I have family members who are working two or three jobs to get by. All the work Biden did is not being seen or recognized by them.

Are they are under-educated yokels? Are they morons for not keeping up with politics? You can call them what ever you want. Theyre still a voter.

Face it: what they're hearing from Democrats vs what they're hearing from Trump are pretty clear cut and we can stay in this echo chamber all we want on Lemmy. Those folks aren't listening to us. They're just trying to survive and will vote accordingly.

This was actually my life a few years ago.

I was hardening our applications to stop scraping and automation bots.

Then contributing to open-source to have better scraping and automation.

I wasn't purposely creating loop holes or anything because that's highly illegal. It's about making sure both sides "play nice", because the automation bots are frequently used by spammers/evildoers.

It's wild that there's so many stupid people who seem to have forgot what kind of shit Trump pulled during his administration.

I was laugh-crying when the EU made that comment about the fate of the world being on some rando US state.

America needs to be downgraded in terms of reputation. We aren't protectors of the world, we can barely help ourselves.

 

Really? A woman in a wheelchair is the hook?

Many of these people struggle for funds to advertise, and this guy turns his ads into attacks.

Sam Adams just looks like a privileged dick.

Local politics doesn't need this dirt slinging. State your position, how you'll approach it and move on.

 

This year's International ShakeOut Day is October 17, when millions of people worldwide will participate in earthquake drills at work, school, or home!

Three days after a just-married Oregon nurse was reported missing, she has been found dead and police have arrested one of her neighbors.

Melissa Jubane, 32, was reported missing on Wednesday after she didn’t arrive for her morning shift as a nurse at Providence St. Vincent Center in Portland, “raising concerns among her coworkers, friends, and family,” the Beaverton Police Department said in a Saturday morning Facebook post.

Because there is enjoyment from watching people suffer. Probably a German word

Is there a way to shut down or loudly announce the move for new posters? Like changing the name of the community?

When searching for a new community, I hate when I see 3 or 4 versions of the same topic and I just pick one at random. Uncertain if I'm part of a dead one or not.
